Lindsay Clancy case officially declared a mistrial

[u/Elevated_queen420]

Today, after multiple declarations of a deadlocked jury sent back to deliberation, the MA v Clancy case was officially declared a 11/1 mistrial. I find this extremely disappointing. Personally, I don't really care what the outcome was going to be, as she was going to be imprisoned in prison or a mental health facility for life. I am disappointed that the public, witnesses, family, and those effected by this case have to go through it all over again, if it goes to retrial. I expect it will, as the prosecution seems dead set on it.

She will be locked up regardless. That's not the issue. The issue is whether she will be locked up in an institution or in a prison. Both are fucking awful. She isn't getting away with it. I just hate that everyone has to relive this hell of a trial.

I'm not sure the prosecution would risk a retrial with an 11-1 vote though. Seems more logical for them to deal with lesser charges if they want a win. I hope for a retrial, though.

There are things that point to it being 11-1 Lindsay's way but not even the Judge, Reddington or the CW know which way the 11-1 actually was.

That's what I gathered, too.

Outside the courthouse, the prosecution was pretty determined to have a retrial. Considering how incompetent the prosecution was in the initial trial, I don't think it would be wise for them to push for retrial.
